And, as an added bonus, here is some weird shit written some time ago in the writing journal I carry everywhere.

"There is this giant squid in my coffee. I can't see it, the squid. No one can. I can't taste it either, or smell it. No one can. But I hear it swimming around, jetting, propulsing itself in circles against the wall of the cup. I sip my coffee carefully, and never drink more than half of it, because I can't fathom the thought of drinking in the squid down the tube of my throat. But worse is the thought of seeing the squid not against the wall of the cup, but at the bottom, squirming in the little puddle of coffee that you can never seem to drink, no matter how many times you sip."

I don't know what that was, but it is slightly disgusting.
